Composed by Dmitri Shostakovich. Arranged by Andrew Middleton. This edition: pdf. 20th Century, Classical, Contemporary, Jazz. 23 pages. Andrew Middleton #1446433. Published by Andrew Middleton (A0.1887766).Dmitri Shostakovich’s Waltz No. 2 from the Suite for Variety Orchestra (often called Jazz Suite No. 2) blends elegance with subtle irony. Written in the mid-20th century, the piece evokes the charm of a ballroom dance while hinting at unease beneath its graceful surface. A lilting triple meter carries a memorable, bittersweet melody, coloured by rich orchestration and distinctive use of saxophone. Like much of Shostakovich’s music, it balances accessibility with emotional depth, inviting listeners to enjoy its beauty while sensing an undercurrent of ambiguity shaped by the composer’s complex artistic and political environment.
This arrangement for wind quintet is ideal for the intermediate ensemble.
